How so? Our days of selling out the stadium are OVER. Why not give the people who are paying money for season tickets some amenities. What the hell does it matter if you have 45K or 60K? We aren't breaking any attendance records anyways. If all we cared about was attendance records then we wouldn't have a LFL and most of the baseball stadium would be bleachers. We could fit 20K in there, but at what cost? If someone is going to drop a couple grand on season tickets then they're going to need a hell of reason to do it. Especially with the product we're going to be putting on the field for the foreseeable future.

That?s an interesting thought. Better seats sounds nice. Maybe less money too!

The 2017 season was a good indication to me that attendance was dropping for reasons other than what was on the field.

That was a great schedule. With an early season win vs LSU and it was still extremely easy to get a ticket to the LSU, Bama and OM games. Also the BYU, UK and UMass games were sparsely attended.

Anyway, I agree. Bleachers need to go. Chairbacks or ideally loge type seating through Out where there are bleachers now, is the future.

Having the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving doesn't help as far as attendance goes either.
